PQMethod Additional Program Files

Note: The following software is  contained also within the PQMethod  package, without documentation, however.

• Windows compatible version pqm2htm_win.zip (2013-11-09)
  
• DOS Version  pqm2htm.zip (2012-01-04) - required with DOSBox (Mac version of PQMethod) but not compatible with Windows 64bit

You get two tools for 'converting' PQMethod  Q-Sort files to HTML:
PQM2HTM ('PQMethod to HTM') creates a single HTML document containing all Q-sorts, PQM2mHTM ('PQMethod to multiple HTML files') outputs separate HTML files for every Q-sort, together with the frame files required.

• Installation and Usage (with the 'Lipset' example) for Windows users: After downloading extract both exe-files into your projects directory, default is C:\PQMETHOD\PROJECTS,
  run (double-click) PQM2HTM.exe  or PQM2MHTM.exe and enter lipset when asked for the project name. Nothing seems to happen now, BUT ...
  
  • in case of PQM2HTM: there is a new file LIPSET.HTM in your project directory, double click it to load it into your browser
  • in case of PQM2mHTM: there is now the new subfoler lipset in your project directory, containg a numer of html-files. Double click the INDEX.HTM to load all into your browser
    
  
  
• NB: I hope the short  instructions above can easily be followed by  inexperienced users. For completeness sake let me add further hints: The EXE files can in fact be put anywhere, e.g. into the c:\PQMethod directory. And you can do without typing  in (path) and project name by using drag & drop of one of the project files onto the EXE file.
  
  
• Note: Required input files are the .dat and the .sta files. The statements in the .sta file need not be shortened to 64 characters, you can display sorts with long statements as well.

"HORST 5.5" the alternative to PQMethod's builtin centroid extraction method is now available in PQMethod itself, and therefore not available here anymore as a separate executable .
